On the vast and expansive land of Xinjiang, the Tianshan Mountains stretch from east to west, dividing northern and southern Xinjiang into distinctly different natural landscapes and cultural rhythms. Northern Xinjiang is known for its grasslands, lakes, and forests, while southern Xinjiang is famous for its desert oases, plateau lakes, and ancient city vibes.

This high-end tourist train, developed by Urumqi, has been in operation since 2023. With its ‘travel by day, sleep by night, train follows people’ model, it has become an ideal choice for many families and middle-aged and elderly tourists to deeply explore Xinjiang. The entire train is designed with sleeper berths, combining comfortable accommodation with convenient transportation. During the day, you delve into scenic spots, and at night, you sleep soundly while moving, truly achieving ‘people walking in the scenery, train traveling in the painting.’
